Planned giving
Plan your donation to leave a lasting impact.
Create a gift that keeps giving
Planned giving provides people of all ages the opportunity to extend your gifts over time, make a future bequest through a will or trust, or receive a lifelong stream of income in the form of a charitable gift annuity.
Gain peace of mind knowing your gift will create benefits for both you and your family, like tax breaks. It will also support future generations of Catholic Charities staff, volunteers, and advocates working tirelessly to provide for those most in need in the Twin Cities area.
“I think it’s important to think about the kind of legacy you want to leave as you age. Setting aside something — even if it’s a small amount — can have a big impact on a person’s life.”
Gary, Woodbury

Your gifts in action
Without anywhere to go or family to turn to after experiencing years of medical issues, Lee began sleeping in the woods near his neighborhood. After spending a night in the hospital after his camping setup was destroyed in a nasty storm, Lee was brought to the Catholic Charities Dorothy Day Place campus.
Lee moved into Focus Forward, a program that offers intensive case management to help connect people with housing as quickly as possible.
Now, Lee is in better health and doing everything in his power to secure housing.
